โ FAQ
Q. How are non-English titles handled?
A. Non-Latin characters are either removed or transliterated. English titles are recommended for SEO.
Q. What is a slug?
A. A slug is a readable URL identifier. Example: 'my-first-post' in '/blog/my-first-post'.
Q. Why should I use slugs in URLs?
A. Descriptive slugs help users understand page content from the URL alone, and search engines use URL keywords as a ranking signal. Good slugs benefit both SEO and user experience.
Q. Can I include uppercase letters?
A. URLs are technically case-sensitive, but lowercase-only is the standard convention. Mixed case can cause the same page to be indexed under multiple URLs.
Q. What happens to special characters in the title?
A. Special characters (!@#$%, etc.) are automatically removed. Ampersands (&) may be converted to 'and', and spaces become hyphens โ all to keep URLs safe and clean.
